I would change that to he got destroyed in the playoffs. These are the same mistakes we did vs celtics. The celtics just sucked so we still beat them. I really don't think we even beat that celtic team with a healthy rondo.
We wouldn't have

Knicks lacked the proper preparation and game plan for this series and that's on Woody. Also Woody hasn't used his roster anywhere close to as well as either Doc or Vogel.

No they are better and younger and stronger than us. We have one scorer against 5.

Im waiting for his post game interview before I lose it. Woodys trusted him as a starter for a while now. There has to be a reason.

Nnnnnnnnnnnope. Intangibles bro, kidd has intangibles
NBA New York Knicks@nyknicks50s
Coach Woodson: "I thought our offensive flow was fine tonight, we just couldn't hit shots."
This is our coach guys. If he has not seen the major problems we have had on offense this game aswell as the playoffs we are doomed until he is gone.

Not true Papabear, we had the wrong guys in the game to open up the Pacers defense it's just as simple as that.
The Pacers have the FAR better center, their point guard is having a career series and is outplaying the Knicks PG, Paul George has been better overall than Melo, especially in terms of facilitating and defending, West is better than any Knicks PF, and their bench has been better. They have been outrebounding the Knicks ridiculously. I don't see how this team is not better than the Knicks.
Woodson needs to be held accountable for this loss... No Novak and no copeland for a team that's struggling to put up points.. With those too in. it spreads the floor for melo.. Jr and Kidd can't spread the floor when the other team knows there going to miss... Overall very poor adjustment by Woodson from game three ... He's always had problems with adjusting its what cost him his job in atl and it might cost him New York ... It's ashame cause we are the better team... Why would you stop using Novak copeland and Pablo when those three carried us the last month of the season... And we cheat to much on defense .. Let hibb and west score in the post with out the dubble the most they would hit us for would be 40 and that's if they don't miss.. If you stop there shooters you win the game.. With all the cheating on defense we always leave a person open on the outside ... Point stop dubbleing h and west they don't deserve that kind of respect.. Honest defense we prop would have been close tonight... Again shame on you Woodson ..

Camby would rebound, why didn't he play ???
Honestly I didn't watch the game but when the team shoots like crap your star player Carmelo needs to step it up and shoot better than 9 for 23 and only 1 assist!? No ball movement I assume, no attacking the basket and no crashing the boards? Theirs a simple formula for winning championships... Get rebounds, move the ball, defense and make your free throws. ATTACK THE BASKET!!! You attack the basket early in the game, that gets you in a rhythm, also causes foul problems, leaves people open in the perimeter for easy shots, everything else falls in place, we have the perfect players for this.... There is no excuse.
Woodson: Shump's lower minutes tonight had nothing to do with his knee
Woodson on Prigioni's lower minutes: "I'm not going to sit here and explain it."
this is our coach!
I feel that this coach and team has peaked and it will not get better than this. He is a good regular season coach but playoffs are not his calling card.

It's unbelievable. How can he say that, yet play JR while he's 4 for 20

Agreed. If we can't get better by way of trades, have to try a different coach.

Have you ever seen that movie Weekend at Bernie's. Only way you get Camby on the floor is if you tied his shoe laces to another player.

You need to watch the game before assuming....Melo played a little bit better than his #'s show....He missed a few in a row down the stretch, one was a prayer from the corner to avoid the shot clock violation....We lost this game on the boards. Outrebounded by 18 and the Pacers scored about 17 pts on offensive put backs....There is our ballgame....
Pressure got to him, he didn't budge and try and outscore the Pacers. We need shooters in the game at least 3 on the court at all time.
